Have you addressed the soft tissue around the hip?
What is hip flexion and ankle dorsiflexion like?
A few episodes which address the psoas.

Daniel,

Do you have imaging that confirmed you have FAI? If not, I’d check that box first.

If confirmed, I think you might do well to take a closer look at surgical intervention. The impingement caused by the acetabulum can cause a great deal of damage to the cartilage and the hip labrum. Though soft tissue mobility work and improving motor control can help, if there’s a problem with the architecture of the joint, there’s no exercise that will fix that.

Daniel,

Good to hear the MWOD recommendations are helping. Hang in there, stick with that daily mobility practice, and make sure you’re adding in a regular dose of hip strengthening work to minimize the aggravation in that hip joint!

Try getting adhesion removed from the posterior hip capsule and adductor magnus. These two structures affect hip flexion most directly.

Are you working on stability in the hip?
Lateral leg raises
Medial leg raises
bent leg lateral raises
single leg tuck
single leg over hold 20 sec

Thanks Daniel
Good to hear you are addressing the stabilization piece.
Many times cause of glutes shutting off is:
1. Pain
2. Position
3. Lack of use
Do you have pain?
Pain can cause the glutes to shut off which then causes greater instability which results in pain.

Position– Glutes span pelvis to femur so……….alignment of the pelvis and femur, therefore, affects the position,
length and tension of your gluteal muscles. If these muscles are not in
an ideal posture, their function will be compromised–sometimes to the
point that the muscles are not able to contract.

Anterior pelvic tilt over stretches the glute. There is a connection between this posture and muscle function called the Lower
Crossed Syndrome.  The hip flexors and back extensors are
short and tight, while the abdominals and glutes are lengthened and
weak.
The glutes and hip flexors work in opposition. If the hip flexors are excessively tight, they may block the message from ever reaching the glutes leaving them inactive.
Thoughts?

It’s a system of systems.
Where you see the issue may not be where it originates.

Are you seeing improvements with what you are doing to address SI/lower back?
Not following what PPT is.

What is your trunk organization like?
Have you addressed your gait?
Have you addressed your psoas and/or hip flexors?
Have you addressed your hamstring?

Pro Episode # 21 – Pro-User Request Friday: Not Seeing The Change? You Need a Systems Approach.

Posterior pelvic tilt  disrupts the muscle balance in our body and can cause posture problems and back pain.
Are you correcting your gait?
Are you addressing your posture when sitting and standing?
These need to be corrected for lasting improvement.

Are you addressing your hamstring snapping around your knee?

There are several exercises and programs you can follow to strengthen the core. Using a variety of exercises is key to address different parts and the whole.

Gluteus Maximus is most likely tight.

Have you worked with anyone to begin correcting your gait, improving mobility etc.?
Need to get started to begin to get the situation under control.

Hi Daniel, were you able to resolve your issue, i know these posts were from a while ago, but I am having the same exact problems and would love to hear what you have done since. thanks!
